The Baltimore SUMS Washington cor
respondent writes: "Dr. George Yasey,
botanist of the agricultural department,
has just printed an official bulletin on
the subject of Grasses OF the South, !
which contains many valuable suggestions
and much information pertaining to the
cultivation of grasses and forage plants
in the south and southwest. Referring
to the needs of the different localities,
DIR. Vasey quotes an extract from an
article on this subject by Wesley Webb,
of Dover, Del, which is as follows; In
New Castle county, Delaware, and Cecil
county, Maryland, timothy and clover
t@ith rye for winter feeding) answer
eyery purpose for hay and pasturage. Asa
heterogeneous forage plant we do not think
any, ing better than alfalfa can be found.
We need, however, something that will
take the place of timothy in all the PEN
insula below Kent county, Maryland,
and Central Kent, in Delaware. The
soil below Dover is too light for grazing,
and but little livestock is kept in COM
parison to what might be kept il the SOIL
ing system were more generally practiced
az 1t is to limited extent and very sue
eessfully. am of the opinion that
some of the varieties of sorghum vulgare
may be grown for soiling and ensiiage
with fair hopes of suocess.'"

The end of the season for legalized
shad fishing will close on Wednesday
next. All the fishermen, including the
operators of the large seine at Gloucester
have Already stopped and are figur-
ing on the profits of the season.
There is much difference of opinion
expressed over the results. Those
in the lower Delaware and in the bay
have all done we'll, while fishermen above
Gloucester have not been so successful.
Captain Denny, who has been transport
ing the fish to market for the lower river
fishermen, states that the bay people are
satisfied with the profits of the season. The
OILERS have averaged from 5000 to 5000
each In the river fiota i;ayside to points
above Pennagrove the cash receipts have
averaged from $500 to 5000. The ex-
pense Of one helper must be deducted
from that amount, this average being
from 800 to 5000 per net. Had not the
catch Of herring been larger than iii pre-
vious years there would have been CON
siderable money lost in the up-river fish
cries. The most successful fishery above
Camden was that at Pavonia, owned by
the estate of Lemuel Horner. Il is small
and is operated with few men. The re-
ports from Bordentown are particularly
disoouraging.
During the next session Of the Lepisla-
ture there will be an agitation over the
passage of a law graduating the seasons.
The fishermen above Gloucester want the
period for fishing protracted until the
end of June. They claim that the fisher
men in the Delaware bay make their
largest hauls before the fish get up the
river, and that they do not get any fish
until three weeks after the season opens.
The matter of propagation is a source of
annoyance to the fishermen. MANY of
them have no confidence in the United
States governments efforts to propagate
shad. The New Jersey fish commissioners
are in favor Of placing the eggs in the
head waters, which are the natural hatch
ing grounds.
Those interested in fiah culture are api-
tating change in the law regulating the
close season. AT present it is not legal to
fish from Saturday at sunset until Sunday
midnight. The fishermen think the close
season should be extended until Monday
midnight. The experts favor graduated
season. All fishing is to cease south of
Trenton from Saturday evening until
midnight on Sunday, and from that hour
until midnight on Monday at all points
above Trenton, to New York state line,
and from midnight on Monday until mid.
night on Tuesday above that point.

The Tichborne claimant is brought
again prominently before the public to-
day by the celebration, on the ancestral
estates in England, of the coming of age
of the heir in possession, Sir Henry
Alfred Tichborne. The claimant, Arthur
Orion, the hero of an eveDtful history
and of sthe most important cause celebre
in the annals of the worlds iurispru-
dence," is now in New York. He says he
is going over to England some time this
year to reopen the case and expresses
his confidence that his claim to
the Tichborne estates will yet be
established aud that his nephew" is not
going to beat him ont of his rights
There is still another claimant in the
Erie, N Y, penitentiary, sent there u few
mouths agc for tiau iul,ntly obtaining a
pension, but he is very evidently more
bogus than romantic. As for Orion,
though tho Jury, after trial which lasted
lsS days decided against him and he WIS
sentenced to, and served out, 14-years
term Of imprisonment, there were, and
doubtless still are, many who believed
hin 70 be the real Sir Roger 1lchbornr.
He was recognized, on the one
hand, by the dowager lady Itch
borne, who accepted him as her son,
by the old family solicitor and physician
and by many others, who swore to his
identity with the lost Sir Roger. On the
other hand, the prosecution proved con-
clusively that he was Arthur Orion, q
London butcher, and traced his life from
the old slaughter house to Australia,
kept track of his plot TO impersonate
Sir Roger and produced testimony to
show that he was still the same Ar
thu Orion he always had been. This
remarkable man is now sojourning in
New York as "sir Roger Tichbornen and,
IL he means what he says, preparing after
all he has gone through TO cross the
ocean shortly and make another fight in
the courts TO vindicate his right to the
estates and the title he has steadfastly
claimed through 20 years of litigation,

The city election passed off quietly last
Saturday. The cause and circumstances
proved of little interest to the colored
people. We have no doubt they are lying
in ambush saving their zeal and breath to
assist in pushing the anticipated constitu-
tional convention election next fall If 20,
amen. There is much to be gained for
the colored people in that movement as
we'll as all other people. If the inconsist-
emit lock of disgrace can be broken by a
vigorous rally for the ballot-box, il will
throw open the antiquity document for
revision, when many diabolical insiQ-
nificant, but INCREASED statutes against
us will be obliterated. We venture to
say there are few, if any, men in the
State, who would be guilty of readopt.

years hence, the growth Of civilization,
together with the long abolished princi-

based, is sufficient to guarantee the col

the fight. We don't desire it for our
special benefit, but for the people in gen

All must be beggars with failure. The

principles, to fly from France to Switger-
land. Embracing in a Dutch vessel, he
came to America, married and settled al
Hanover, York county, Pa. Again, when
the French and Indian war broke out, he,
with his four sons. was compelled to fee

Albert Richardson, who in about the
year 1872 edited and published the now
defunct Eastern Sho4emdg, ut Salisbury.
Md, and who has more recently been
connected with various newspapers OF
Baltimore, has had rather checkered
career, and experienced many ''ups-and-
downs" for a man Of about 81 years. He
was connected with the Baltimore San as
reporter for some time, and with several
others of the staff of that journal en-
gagged with a new paper called the Times
which came into existence In 1884 and
lived but a short time. Il was well.
edited, spicy newspaper and a credit to
that city; but it died from lack OF
patronage and Mr.. Richardson was thrown
out of employment. After wandering
ing about for some time he turned up in
Kansas City, Mo-, few months ago in
rather 'tseedyn condition, sought out his
old friend, Joseph A. Graham, formerly
editor of the Salisbury Advertiser,
now manager of the Kansas City
Times, and applied for a position.
MIR. Graham made room for him and he
was soon at, work. In a short while he
mad saved enough to invest in q little real
estate in that city. The news soon spread
like wild fire that fortunes were being
made in q single day and thousands Of
people from the north, east and south,
hocked to Kansas City. Building lots
went up in price like thermometer dipped
in boiling water, and Mr.. Richardson
awoke one morning to find himself worth
more money than he had ever dreamed of
possessing. He soon sold his property
invested again and again, resigned his
position on the Times and went into the
real estate business, and in a few months
has accumulated fortune of nearly
300, 900. He is genial fellow and many
of the old journalists remember him as
good writer and will, we have no doubt,
feel delighted to hear of his success.
